The Kinetic King - Variety Act
As well as he did last week after a stumble a few weeks or so ago, he should not have made the Top 24. Nick told the audience and judges to put on their safety goggles, because the pieces will fly towards them. This set-up went by a lot faster than last time, which worked better in terms of me not getting bored. But this isn't a Vegas act. This has to be the end of the road for him.

America's Got Talent 6 - Semifinals (Group 1) Results Show
My recap/review of last night's America's Got Talent results show is now up at OMGWire.com. Below is an excerpt of my commentary.

Three more acts are called to the stage: Melissa Villasenor, Miami All Stars, and Kevin Colis. Since there are only two spots remaining, and the judges will choose one of them, then that means only one of these three acts can stay on. And even though I really like Melissa, the huge dance group will be on the one. The act advancing is Miami All Stars.

Zuma Zuma - Acrobatic Dancers
Still in the animal print attire, Zuma Zuma performed a variety of acrobatic routines. One of them did the limbo under a bar on fire. Some balanced upside down on a bunch of stacked chairs. And near the end, they all stood on top of each other. While impressive, they didn't raise the bar from their performance in the previous round. Unfortunately, it wasn't good enough to make it to the next round.

Shevonne, Yellow Designs Stunt Team, and West Springfield Dance Team are the first three acts called to the stage to find out their fate. Since Shevonne hasn't been featured on the show, she has very little chance of making it. So it comes down to Yellow Designs and West Springfield. In my predictions yesterday, I went with the stunt team, but said I wouldn't be surprised if the dancers make it. And in fact, the West Springfield Dance Team are in the Top 24!

The Kinetic King - Variety Act
Chosen By: Piers Morgan
It's no surprise they brought him back after his disastrous performance last time around. And I'm glad they gave him a second chance, for that very reason. But when it comes down to it, this isn't a Vegas act; in fact, this isn't any sort of an act that people would pay to go see. In terms of this particular performance, the domino effect started out a little slow, so it didn't grab my attention. But the last half was much better. And of course it's my luck that while I'm trying to watch all the intricate things going on, they're showing local election results at the bottom of the screen, so I was trying to do two things at once. But anyways...I'm glad he got a second chance, like I said, but this is the end of the road. And really, has anyone who performed first on this show ever made it to the next round? Most, if not all, of the acts who make it were featured in the last hour of the two hour episodes.

New Bieber Guy Blog Explores the Justin Bieber Phenomenon
Justin Bieber's core demographic is tween and teen girls. I, however, am a 23-year-old MALE college graduate. No matter where you turn, there Bieber is: on every TV show and website imaginable. I can certainly understand why the girls are in love with him, but I am not necessarily a fan (but neither am I a hater and dislike him either); I would consider myself neutral. That's where this new blog comes into play. I will become the Bieber Guy and explore the world of Justin Bieber (listening to all of his songs, watch his music videos, read his book, watch his movie, view his YouTube videos, etc). This isn't necessarily to see if I will have Bieber Fever by the end. I'm not guaranteeing I will; the purpose of this project is to understand him as an artist rather than judge him or write him off as a fad, as many people have done without even taking the time to listen to much of his music.
As of this morning, I have begun my venture as the Bieber Guy, reviewing his very first single, "One Time." Click HERE to read my review, where you can also find links to listen to the song for yourself. As you will read in that blog entry, I started off with a lukewarm reaction, but eventually warmed up to it and his voice. Read for yourself why I changed my opinion.
My plan is to review next his second single, "One Less Lonely Girl," then either the two iTunes promo singles or the debut EP as a whole. To stay updated on everything related to Bieber Guy and to find out when the next blog entry will be online, follow Bieber Guy on Twitter @Bieber_Guy.

America's Got Talent 6 - YouTube Results Show
My recap/review of last night's America's Got Talent results show is now up at OMGWire.com. Below is an excerpt of my commentary.
Click HERE to read the entire article (& HERE for the quick recap).
The first two acts brought to the stage are Gymkana and Powerhouse. My first reaction is that both will be going through. Since Powerhouse performed last, I'm surprised that they didn't make it. But Gymkana is in the Top 24.
YouTube sensation Tay Zonday quickly performs "Chocolate Rain." That was way too quick to even know what was going on.

TNC Elite - Cloggers
They were trying to clog to the beat of the song ("I've Gotta Feeling"), but the beat of the song doesn't work for a clogging routine, because there were moments they lagged or were slow depending on the beat and how fast or slow the parts of the song were.

America's Got Talent 6 - Top 48 (Group 4) Results Show
My recap/review of last night's live results show of America's Got Talent is now up at OMGWire.com. Below is an excerpt of my commentary.
Click HERE to read the entire article (& HERE for the quick recap).
Frank Miles, Avery and the Calico Hearts,Taylor Davis, and Fatally Unique are the first four acts to find out the results. I know I keep saying the same thing every week like a broken record, but yet again it’s completely obvious what’s going to happen. Frank Miles and Taylor Davis have no chance. The Chipmunks, I’m mean Avery and the Calico Hearts, may have somewhat of a chance, but I hope they don’t. Fortunately, Fatally Unique is in. Sharon just loves the Chipmunks so much, I wouldn’t be surprised if she puts them in the Wild Card round in two weeks.

1. The Kinetic King - Variety Act
His act (the domino-like effect using tongue depressors, etc.) took two days to set up. At the start of the performance, he had some female assistants, one of whom pulled a string that should have started the chain reaction. Problem was, nothing happened…at all. So he went over and tried to start it manually, but it only went about a foot or so. He tried it again a few more time and again it only went a couple feet or so. After the failure, he goes all over the stage and wiggles and kicks various parts of the setup. It’s not much better; only a couple of the areas move. Nick joins him on stage to help. This whole thing really was a trainwreck. And to his credit, it wasn’t necessarily his fault. He’s experienced with working on this type of a hobby. He knows how it should have gone. But for whatever reason, it didn’t work. America can still vote, but I doubt they will.
